SECRETARY JARDINE
ON FARM SITUATION
The following is taken from a statement recently issued by Secretary of
Agriculture Jardine:
"In general, the showing for the year
is good. Yet much remains to be done
before the position of the farmer will
cease to constitute a problem. In order
to achieve higher net incomes for agriculture, advance is necessary along several lines.
"While farmers themselves are reducing their costs of production through increased efficiency, public agencies should
cooperate with them in effecting a better
adjustment of production to demand.
Also,- efforts should be made to diminish
waste, to lessen margins between producers' and consumers' prices, to reduce
transportation and distribution costs and
to lessen the farmers' overhead charges
by lowering or redistributing tax burdens
and by improving agricultural credit
facilities.
"Farmers should be encouraged to enhance their bargaining power through
cooperative marketing, and the responsibility of the public in helping to reduce
price fluctuations due to unavoidable
gluts and shortages of agricultural products should be recognized in a practical
PROGRESS MADE IN
COOPERATION
Winter schools for the study of cooperation are being held at about 25
points in the Province of Saskatchewan,
under the auspices of the various cooperative organizations of the province.
The programs are arranged in one hour
periods, allowing approximately 40 minutes for an address and 20 minutes for
discussion.
In its twenty-first annual Farmers'
Week and Marketing Conference, January 23 to 28, the Georgia State College
of Agriculture is giving attention to the
subject of cooperation. One feature of
the program is an address on "Present
Trends in Cooperative Marketing," by a
representative of the Federal Division of
Cooperative Marketing.
A revised list of the charts illustrating
the development and status of cooperative marketing and purchasing has been
prepared. Fifty-six charts are listed under the various classifications, there being six charts dealing with the marketing
of dairy products, and five each for fruits
and vegetables, grain, and livestock.
There are also charts for membership,
amount of business, and number of associations. These charts are suitable for
class-room work in courses dealing with
cooperative marketing and purchasing.
Copies of the new list can be procured
from the Division of Cooperative Marketing, Bureau of Agricultural Economics,
Washington, D. C.
The three cooperative marketing
schools held in Colorado in December
were so successful that four additional
schools are to be held beginning January 23. The December schools were
held under the leadership of the Colorado
Director of Markets, the State Agricultural College, and the Federal Division
of Cooperative Marketing. The first
school was at Colorado Springs and con
tinued for three days. It was attended
by approximately 150 Colorado farmers,
association officials and extension workers. The second and third schools were
in producing areas, were conducted by a
representative of the Federal Division of
Cooperative Marketing, and continued for
ten days. The two schools were held on
the same days, afternoon sessions being
held at one point and evening sessions at
another. (A. C.)
